Correctly locate the place the user has selected for app data

Halla Rempt requested to merge work/rempt/bug_447235_correctly_locate_writable_appdata_location into master

This centralizes the locating of the configurable resources dir, which apart from real resources also contains stuff like color schemes, profiles and so on.

We don't install all of that locally though, that's only done with real resources.

KoResourcePaths now adds the configured folder to the list of default locations, so all attempts to locate local and installed stuff works out.

This also adds a getAppDataLocation to the libkis API so python plugins can use it to locate, e.g., the right place to install plugins.

BUG:447235 BUG:447813

Test plan:

  1. Change the default resource location
  2. Check functionality:
  • install a python plugin from a url and a local one
  • check whether the layer styles are saved in the right place
  • check whether icc profiles are found, and whether an icc profile placed in the resource folder is found
  • ditto with color schemes
  • ditto with input profiles
